Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
First, I got diagnosed with Lupus when I was 16, so I wanted to help others in similar situations.
But then I volunteered in a hospital and didn't enjoy it.
So I started volunteering and working for non-profits in an administrative setting.
But was not fulfilled doing office work and didn't feel like I was creating anything useful.
I tried pursuing a Masters in Social Work (because I wanted to help people).
But after a few months, my gut told me that this wasn't the path for me and I dropped out.
So I took a risk and tried coding bootcamps but found coding wasn't for me.
But then as a result, I discovered UX design and fell in love!
